berries dessert Driscolll's Berries

Berry Overload Bundt Cake with Vanilla Bean Glaze

driscolls disclaimerRecently my friends over at Driscoll’s sent me a few product coupons to see what I could come up with using their delicious berries. I was overjoyed, because I know that theirs are the most succulent and ripe berries around. In fact, I always look for their packaging while grocery shopping – and they even have organic berries in their product line up as well! Since the next big holidays that are coming up are Easter and Mother’s Day (oh, and we can’t forget my birthday!), I decided to create a sweet dessert that would be a great addition to either holiday.

Aren't they just beautiful?

Aren’t they just beautiful?

Now you all know that I love my berries, I have a ton of recipes that include berry in some form (like this, this, this, this, this, this , this, and this – just to name a few), but I wanted to create something special that would be absolutely beautiful on the dessert table and that kids and adults would both love. After browsing the Driscoll’s website for a little inspiration, I saw all their Spring and Easter Desserts and ended up with more than a few recipes that I’d love to recreate. The website also has tons of information about the health benefits of berries, what to look for, and care and handling tips. Perfect for the berry lover like myself.

Meet the Berry Overload Bundt Cake with Vanilla Bean Glaze

I decided why not use all the berries and follow the lead of one of my most popular recipes. This is when the Berry Overload Bundt Cake was created. I decided to make it even more over the top by not adding just any old glaze over it, but one made with real vanilla beans. Oh yeah, you can bet this cake was GONE in less than 12 hours. It’s deliciously moist, and the zest of orange and lemon offset with an abundance of berries and topped with that subtle glaze with real vanilla beans will make this a new standard for your dessert repertoire.

Berry Overload Bundt Cake with Vanilla Bean Glaze

Berry Overload Bundt Cake Ingredients:

  • 3 cups* + 1 tablespoon* all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blueberries

Vanilla Bean Glaze Ingredients:

  • 1 vanilla bean, cut with beans scraped out
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Directions:

 Berry Overload Bundt Cake with Vanilla Bean GlazeBegin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Then combine the 3 cups of flour*, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Combine all ingredients and mix well, then set aside.

Once everything is mixed well add about 1/3 of the flour mixture you’ve set aside. Mix on medium until well blended, then add 1/2 of the buttermilk and continue mixing until well blended. Continue this routine with the second 1/3 of the flour mixture, then the last 1/2 of the buttermilk, then finishing off with the last 1/3 of the flour mixture.

Begin to prepare the glaze, carefully cut open the vanilla bean long ways and scrape out all the tiny beans inside into a small mixing bowl. Add the powdered sugar and milk and whisk together until mixed completely. Carefully drizzle over cake, letting the glaze drip down.

          I made it! It came out amazing; thanks for this recipe! I only had strawberries and blueberries but it still tastes delicious. If any of your other readers are gluten free, I made this using the same flour measurements (3 cups + 1 tbsp) but I used Trader Joe’s GF flour blend and added in 2 1/2 tsp of xantham gum to the dry mix. 🙂
